WORKSHOP FORMAT
Soon Y Warren will provide reference photos and drawings in advance for the workshop exercises. Each day, there will be a painting demonstration and then time to have workshop participants do their own painting to fully understand Soon’s process. Participants will be able to concentrate on learning the techniques as well as see how the concepts of color theory, composition, and color values are executed on a painting. While painting workshop participants will learn:
• Glazing and washing techniques to create a luminous underpainting. • How to utilize light and dark values to capture the sparkle of glass. • How to approach a painting.
• How to incorporate color theory and color relationships into a painting.
Workshop includes discussion periods and critique sessions.
In addition to the group exercise, participants are encouraged to bring current pieces to paint along with reference photos. To make the most of instructional time, prepare the drawing before the workshop.
